When a few of us started racing the YSR50s, on non race weekends we'd go to a metro link parking lot and setup a track with soccer cones. The lot was the size of 4 football fields with zero light poles or parking blocks just flat asphalt. It quickly when past just learning basics to full on staged races against friends and we even had a few Leo's show up to spectate. Most riders would crash once per visit but in full leathers and a top speed of 55 with nothing to hit its quite safe. After like 8 back to back weekends of this the 5 riders that frequented the parking lot races went from mid pack beginners to surpassing the current experts.
